If, as I suggested the other day, their high school emotions dictated some of the judgments, then they really were rather in love with Fiona Apple, she who is gorgeous, going to Harvard and a three-sports star.

She can do little wrong. Whereas her fellow classmate just copied and copied and copied.

There is something painfully human about a judge worrying that this case was going to be so complex, with its verdict form of pages and pages, and yet here was the student council whistling as they breezed through it in a mere 21 hours.

"Fascinate? Nah. Galaxy Tab, yeah. Wow, this test is real easy."

Even Apple's lawyers didn't think this would all happen so quickly. One of them wandered into the courthouse today wearing a polo shirt and jeans. You see, he was already prepared for the weekend. Just like the jury.

Many will not be surprised that Apple won, especially with, perhaps, a little home advantage -- home being California. And yet the appeals will roll on, as will the similar cases around the world.

Some will believe that these 9 people on the jury were quickly moved by Samsung's own internal documents, which showed a great and very detailed level of admiration for what Apple did with the iPhone.

Others, though, will simply think that they voted for the clever pretty girl. Oh, and for a weekend's peace.
